                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1    ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES:

             The consolidated financial statements conform to generally accepted
          accounting principles and to general industry practices. In the
          opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
          financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only
          normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial
          position as of June 30, 1998 and the results of operations for the six
          month periods ended June 30, 1998 and June 30, 1997. The notes
          included herein should be read in conjunction with the notes to
          financial statements included in the 1997 annual report to
          stockholders of the F & M Bank Corp.

             The Company does not expect the anticipated adoption of any newly
          issued accounting standards to have a material impact on future
          operations or financial position.

Item 2 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
       Condition and Results of Operations


Overview

    The financial condition of F & M Bank Corp. remained strong throughout the
first six months of 1998. Annualized growth in total assets for the first six
months slowed to 2.60% and annualized growth in deposits for this time period
was 3.10%. Net income for the first six months of 1998 increased $1,055,000 or
78.09% as a result of a $989,000 after tax change in security gains and losses.
The increase in capital of .23% is attributed to regular and special dividends
totaling $1,228,000 and a $1,125,000 net decrease in unrealized gains on
securities available for sale.

Results of Operations - Six Months Ending June 30, 1998

    The dollar amount of the tax equivalent net interest margin increased
$162,000 or 4.47% compared to the same period in 1997. Yields on earning assets
were virtually unchanged between periods. An increase of eleven basis points in
the cost of funds was primarily the result of prepayment penalties incurred to
refinance a portion of the subsidiary Bank's long-term debt. The increase in the
net interest margin is solely the result of an increase in the volume of total
earnings assets. A schedule of the net interest margin for 1998 and 1997 is
shown on page 14 as Table 1.

    Noninterest income increased $1,599,000 in the first six months of 1998.
This increase is attributed to a combination of a $1,570,000 gain on securities
transaction in 1998 compared to a $25,000 loss in securities transaction in
1997.

    Noninterest expense increased 6.55% in 1998. The principal reason for this
was a 27.14% increase in other noninterest expenses. Components of this increase
included accruals for year 2000 testing and remediation and stationary, supplies
and advertising related to the subsidiary Bank's 90th anniversary. Employee 
salaries and benefits declined .47% due to the Company's use of Trigon stock 
received in the demutualization to offset health insurance expenses.

Result of Operations - Quarter Ending June 30, 1998

    Net income for the quarter ending June 30, 1998 increased 12.90% over
earnings in the same quarter of 1997. Net interest income increased due to
increases in the level of earning assets. Noninterest income increased during
1998 due to increased security gains compared to 1997. Although the Company's
overhead costs increased due to the factors noted above, they continue to be low
relative to its peer group.

Financial Condition

    Securities

    The Company's securities portfolio is held to assist the Company in
liquidity and asset liability management. The securities portfolio consists of
investment securities (commonly referred to as "securities held to maturity")
and securities available for sale. Securities are classified as investment
securities when management has the intent and ability to hold the securities to
maturity. Investment securities are carried at amortized cost. Securities
available for sale include securities that may be sold in response to general
market fluctuations, general liquidity needs and other similar factors.
Securities available for sale are recorded at market value. Unrealized holding
gains and losses on available for sale securities are excluded from earnings and
reported (net of deferred income taxes) as a separate component of shareholders'
equity. As of June 30, 1998, the market value of all securities available for
sale exceeded their amortized cost by $2,062,000 ($1,281,000 after the
consideration of income taxes). This excess is the result of unrecognized gains
in the value of equity securities, primarily stocks of financial institutions
held by the Company. Management has traditionally held debt securities
(regardless of classification) until maturity and thus it does not expect the
minor fluctuations in the value of these debt securities to have a direct impact
on earnings.

Item 2 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
       Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)


    Securities (Continued)

    Investments in securities decreased $2,593,000 (6.70%) in the first six
months of 1998. Maturities and sales of securities have been used to fund
continued strong loan demand. The Company has invested in relatively short-term
maturities due to uncertainty in the direction of rates. This philosophy allows
for greater flexibility in an environment of rapidly changing rates and has
served the Company well over the years. Of the investments in securities
available for sale, 40% are invested in equities which are dividend producing
and subject to the dividend exclusion for taxation purposes. The Company
believes these investments render adequate returns and have resulted in
significant increases in value.

Loan Portfolio

    The Company operates in an agriculturally dominated area which incudes the
counties of Rockingham, Page and Shenandoah in the western portion of Virginia.
The Company does not make a significant number of loans to borrowers outside 
its primary service area. The Company is very active in local residential
construction mortgages. Commercial lending activities include small and medium
sized businesses within the service area.

    The principal economic risk associated with the loan portfolio is the
ability of its borrowers to repay. The risk associated with real estate and
installment notes to individuals is based upon employment, the local and
national economies and consumer confidence. All of these affect the ability of
borrowers to repay indebtedness. The risk associated with commercial lending is
substantially based on the strength of the local and national economies. A large
percentage of agricultural loans are made to poultry growers. In the past two
years, the poultry industry has suffered due to high grain prices, excess
supplies of all types of meat and high mortality rates among poults. In 
addition to direct agricultural loans, a significant percentage of residential 
real estate loans and consumer installment loans are made to borrowers employed 
in the agricultural sector of the economy. The company continues to monitor its
past due loans closely and has not experienced an increase in loan delinquencies
as a result of these economic factors.

    The first six months of 1998 saw continued strong loan demand as loans grew
at an annualized rate of 10.53%. Funding for the increased loan volume was made
possible by the growth in time deposits, sales and maturities of securities and
acquisition of additional long-term debt. Overall, management has been quite
pleased with the loan program and believes that loan growth will continue
throughout 1998.

    Nonperforming loans include nonaccrual loans, loans 90 days or more past due
and restructured loans. Nonaccrual loans are loans on which interest accruals
have been suspended or discontinued permanently. Restructured loans are loans
which have changed the original interest rate or repayment terms due to
financial hardship. Loans 90 days or more past due totaled $688,000 at June 30,
1998 compared to $825,000 at December 31, 1997. The Company had no nonaccrual or
restructured loans at June 30, 1998.

       Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)


Loan Portfolio (Continued)

    Real estate acquired through foreclosure was $27,000 at June 30, 1998 and
December 31, 1997. All foreclosed property held at June 30, 1998 was in the
Company's primary service area. The Company's practice is to value real estate
acquired through foreclosure at the lower of (i) an independent current
appraisal or market analysis less anticipated costs of disposal, or (ii) the
existing loan balance. The Company is actively marketing all foreclosed real
estate and does not anticipate material write-downs in value before disposition.

    An inherent risk in the lending of money is that the borrower will not be
able to repay the loan under the terms of the original agreement. The allowance
for loan losses (see subsequent section) provides for this risk and is reviewed
periodically for adequacy. While lending is geographically diversified within
the service area, the Company does have some concentration of loans in the area
of agriculture (primarily poultry farming) and related industries. Management
recognizes these concentrations and considers them when structuring its loan
portfolio. As of June 30, 1998, management is not aware of any significant
potential problem loans in which the debtor is currently meeting their
obligations as stated in the loan agreement but which may change in future
periods.

Allowance for Loan Losses

    Management evaluates the loan portfolio in light of national and local
economic trends, changes in the nature and value of the portfolio and industry
standards. Specific factors considered by management in determining the adequacy
of the level of the allowance include internally generated loan review reports,
past due reports, historical loan loss experience and individual borrowers
financial health. This review also considers concentrations of loans in terms of
geography, business type and level of risk. Management evaluates nonperforming
loans relative to their collateral value and makes the appropriate adjustments
to the allowance for loan losses when needed.

    The provision for loan losses and changes in the allowance for loan losses
are shown in note 4, page 8.

    The allowance for credit losses of $1,184,000 at June 30, 1998 was up
$63,000 from its level at December 31, 1997. The allowance was equal to .91% of
total loans at June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997. The Company believes that
its allowance should be viewed in its entirety and, therefore, is available for
potential credit losses in its entire portfolio, including loans, credit-related
commitments and other financial instruments. In the opinion of management, the
allowance, when taken as a whole, is adequate to absorb reasonably estimated
credit losses inherent in the Company's portfolio.

Deposits and Long-Term Debt

    The Company's main source of funds is customer deposits received from
individuals, governmental entities and businesses located within the Company's
service area. Deposit accounts include demand deposits, savings, money market
and certificates of deposit. The Company realized annualized deposit growth of
3.10% in the first six months of 1998. Deposit growth continues to be difficult
to achieve due to the increasing number of financial institutions competing in
the Bank's primary service area. Deposit growth was mainly in the area of
certificates of deposits and was a result of special promotions designed to
attract new deposits.

<PAGE> 12

Item 2 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
       Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)


Deposits and Long-Term Debt (Continued)

    The Company offers repurchase agreements (a/k/a "repos") to customers
desiring such investments. Repos are designed for companies and individuals
desiring a higher rate of return than traditional deposit accounts and who will
accept the risk of not being covered by FDIC insurance.

    Borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (FHLB) continue to be
an important mechanism in funding real estate loan growth in the area. The
Company's subsidiary bank borrows funds on a fixed rate basis and uses these
borrowings to make fixed rate loans with a fifteen year repayment term. As an
alternative, borrowers may opt for a twenty year repayment term in which only
the first ten years have a fixed rate. This program allows the bank to match the
maturity of its fixed rate real estate portfolio with the maturity of its debt
and thus reduce its exposure to interest rate changes. Additional borrowings
obtained during the first six months of 1998 totaled $5,147,000, of which
$2,147,000 was for refinancing of existing debt. Normal repayments (in excess 
of amounts paid to refinance debt) have totaled $1,789,000 so far this year.

    Capital

    The Company seeks to maintain a strong capital position to expand
facilities, promote public confidence, support current operations and grow at a
manageable level. As of June 30, 1998, the Company's total risk based capital
ratio was 19.05%, far above the regulatory minimum of 8.00%. The ratio of total
capital to total assets was 13.04% at June 30, 1998, which exceeds that of the
Company's peers. As part of the 90th anniversary celebration, the Company
declared a special one time dividend of $.90/share. This dividend was funded
from the sale of appreciated securities. Recurring dividends for the year of
1998 total $.60/share compared to $.48/share in 1997. Earnings have been
sufficient to allow the increase in dividends in 1998 over those in 1997.

    Liquidity

    Liquidity is the ability to meet present and future financial obligations
through either the sale or maturity of existing assets or the acquisition of
additional funds through liability management. Liquid assets include cash,
interest bearing deposits with banks, federal funds sold, investments and loans
maturing within one year. The Company's ability to obtain deposits and purchase
funds at favorable rates determines its liquidity exposure. As a result of the
Company's management of liquid assets and the ability to generate liquidity
through liability funding, management believes that the Company maintains
overall liquidity sufficient to satisfy its depositors' requirements and meet
its customers' credit needs.

    Additional sources of liquidity available to the Company include, but are
not limited to, loan repayments, the ability to obtain deposits through the
adjustment of interest rates and the purchasing of federal funds. To further
meet its liquidity needs, the Company also maintains lines of credit with
correspondent financial institutions. The Company's subsidiary bank also has a
line of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta that allows for
secured borrowings. In the past, growth in deposits and proceeds from the
maturity of investment securities have been sufficient to fund most of the net
increase in loans and investment securities.

<PAGE> 13

Item 2 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
       Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)


    Interest Rate Sensitivity

    In conjunction with maintaining a satisfactory level of liquidity,
management must also control the degree of interest rate risk assumed on the
balance sheet. Managing this risk involves regular monitoring of the interest
sensitive assets relative to interest sensitive liabilities over specific time
intervals.

    At June 30, 1998 the Company had a negative gap position. This liability
sensitive position typically produces an unfavorable contribution to earnings
during a period of increasing rates. With the largest amount of interest
sensitive assets and liabilities repricing within five years, the Company
monitors these areas very closely. Early withdrawal of deposits, prepayments of
loans and loan delinquencies are some of the factors that could affect actual
versus expected cash flows. In addition, changes in rates on interest sensitive
assets and liabilities may not be equal, which could result in a change in net
interest margin. While the Company does not match each of its interest sensitive
assets against specific interest sensitive liabilities, it does monitor closely
the maturities of loans, investments and time deposits to limit interest rate
risk and the financial effect of market rate changes.

    A summary of asset and liability repricing opportunities is shown on page 15
as Table II.

Disclosure of Year 2000 Issues

     The Company is working to resolve the potential impact of the year 2000 on 
the ability of the Company's computerized information systems to accurately 
process information that may be date-sensitive. Any of the Company's programs 
that recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000 
could result in errors or system failures. The Company utilizes a number of 
computer programs across its entire operation. The Company has completed the 
first phase of the assessment and continues to monitor changes. The Company 
currently believes that costs of addressing this issue will not have a material 
adverse impact on the Company's financial position. However, if the Company and 
third parties upon which it relies are unable to address this issue in a timely
manner, it could result in a material financial risk to the Company. In order to
assure that this does not occur, the Company plans to devote all resources
required to resolve any significant year 2000 issues in a timely manner.

    Effect of Newly Issued Accounting Standards

    The Company does not believe that any newly issued but as yet unapplied
accounting standards will have a material impact on the Company's financial
position or operations.
